My Nonprofit Reviews

Volunteer New York has been instrumental in helping our small profit. Patti Columbo came in and assessed our needs and set us up with a team of volunteers who come weekly and help us get pasteurized donor milk to the babies who need it. Our volunteers do everything from knitting and crocheting baby blankets remotely for families in need to assembling shipping boxes and packets right here at The New York Milk Bank so we can donor milk to hospitals. We LOVE Volunteer New York and our volunteer staff!

Volunteer New York! has helped our Westchester-based non-profit milk bank immeasurably. From providing community partners from Cardinal McCloskey's RISE program who help us get our everyday tasks done to sending people who knit and crochet our way. In the last few months, The New York Milk Bank has received over 50 handmade baby blankets and hats from volunteers all over NYS. These blankets and hats are then donated to families of newborns across NY and its surrounding area. Volunteer New York also helped us organize our first food drive. Our staff donated over six bags of canned and non perishable food to a local food bank. We will do better next year!
